About This Museum

You'd never guess this entire turreted city on a hill was built for just one man, but that's the audacious beauty of the Palazzo Ducale. Walking into its courtyard feels like stepping into a perfectly proportioned Renaissance dream, all harmonious arches and serene light. It’s less a fortress and more a monument to intellectual ambition, with rooms that seem to breathe history. This place doesn't just display art; it is the very heart of Urbino's golden age.

Collection Highlights

The real star is Piero della Francesca's 'Flagellation of Christ,' a painting so geometrically perfect it'll stop you in your tracks. You'll also find quiet moments with Raphael's 'Portrait of a Gentlewoman' and lose yourself in the incredible inlaid wood studios that look like fully-realized paintings.
